Summary

On March 6, 2013, News on the Net attempted to livestream a St. James Township meeting using a wireless link between sites more than half a mile apart. The test produced clear video with a reported delay, and the Chamber of Commerce announced plans to add an outdoor antenna and faster connection to support future broadcasts and improve nearby public internet access.

Evidence limits

The forum establishes a technical test and planned infrastructure support. It does not establish a permanent broadcasting system, complete meeting access, or the substance of the meeting itself.
